Diploma in Stonemasonry (Level 2)

This course will provide knowledge underpinning and practical/technical skills training apprpriate to the trained stonemason (Banker). It is suitable both for those currently unemployed who wish to advance their skills and for apprentices, as the knowledge component of the Level 2 Apprenticeship Framework. Learners applying for the BCC Advanced Stone Diploma also undertake this course as a part of their studies. Participants will learn about complex masonry components, advanced hand tools and portable power tools, production of drawing details for production of stonemasonry units and a variety of essential aspects of site operation including Health & Safety.

We do not set an abolute entry standard but we prefer to do an individual assessment at College, where we can gauge your suitability, with or without additional support. This qualification is offered on a flexible part or full time time basis, and may be discussed between BCC Stonemasontry staff and the potential learner in the first instance.

Steel toe cap boots; drawing equipment (see website).

Participants are assessed through practical assignment and on-line tests.
